Do Apple have a complaints department in the UK?

Dear Idris,

Which part of "I know Apple CS / Support aren't on here and didn't say they were" was unclear?

Then why did you bring it up in the first place? Did you just want to split hairs when you claimed someone was being rude:

The very rude poster who said Apple aren't here so won't see your post - not strictly speaking true. They do monitor posts, because one I put up before about a UK CS dept got immediately deleted and Apple emailed me to tell me they'd deleted it - no-one gets to speak ill of the mighty Apple, apparently!

What was the point in that?

To show that, in whatever form, there is a presence that at least communicates directly with Apple. As you have said, they are moderators.

That was all.

And my comment about knowing Apple CS/ Support aren't on here was in response to another poster's comment, not yours, which I replied to directly.

Really? Then how do you explain this thread of over 100 posts, most of them speaking very ill of Apple:

how do I update iPhone apps with new iTunes 12.7?

To correct your misapprehension, hosts do not monitor posts. Any member of the community with over 150 points can flag a post that they think is inappropriate. A host will then review it, and take action of the host believes action is called for. Hosts do not proactively monitor the forum. There are just too many posts and too few hosts.

Im having serious problems with a new 2016 mac book peo ive been a Mac supporter for 16 years And my business runs on it . In Bakersfield California the Mac store treats me and my business account like my lively hood doesn't matter they were so UN helpful and a big problem is the techs and manager at this Mac store dont know their products or software ..... My Mac is damaged under warranty and less then a year old and they sent me away with out a computer and not even seeing tge obvious that it was a hardware problem and as I work in film cant depend on a computer like that especially under a year old .... This kind of customer care is not what apple was meant to be

I have had on going problems with my IPhone 6 Plus for some time now. But what seems to be more of a problem is the conduct of the Apple care team. Being told you will get call backs and you don’t. Being made to go over the same fault proses again and again. And this is mustly from the so called senior advisors. I have little to no trust in Apple care nor it’s products. I have now pushed back planes to buy the new iPhone 10 as well as the new iMac and I’am currently looking for alternative for both products. As Apple seem to be a distant memory of what once was a great brand.

Ok. You should always chose the tool that best meets your needs. Good luck.

I bought the Iphone a year ago, since I bought it changed 3 times by defects in the device, every time I have to go to the apple are at least 2 hours waiting and I am always poorly served

Today when I arrived at the sandpaper they told me that it would take 1 hour, when the deadline passed he said it would take 4 hours and that there was nothing

That is not surprising as this is a technical support forum, not a place to leave complaints.

But, good luck on your carrier as a composer.

Is it your first symphony, or your ninth?

Since I have updated to the last way version which Apple have realised date is 14/03/18 my iPhone 8plus has been making a static noise when I ring someone they cannont hear me because it sounds fuzzy and also when I record all I can hear is a fuzzy noise had no problem before this new update since I have updated this has started never dropped or damanged phone either as it is new please help !

That's too funny, you can't even complain about a product and service on a forum thread about not being able to raise a complaint without your post being removed as it was non-technical, even though it was complaining about technical issues!

Apple, have a word with yourselves!

You are correct it was a rant, but after 2 genius bar visits, 3 online chats and 1 phone call the 'best' apple can do to resolve the issues is sell me something else that compensates for poor product performance. You do not expect that from premium priced products. But this is still on topic, i.e. is there a formal complaints procedure?
